ADJUSTABLE SHADE AND CURTAIN BRACKET.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented april 27, 1909.

Application filed January 4, 1907, Serial No. 350,830.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, FRANK W. Dnisn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Sul livan, in the county of Moultrie and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful lmrovement in Adjustable Shade and Curtain Brackets, of which the following is a speciiication. i f

This invention relates to a combined shade and curtain holder, and more particularly to adjustable shade and curtain-holders, the object being to provide a device which is very simple and cheap in construction and one which can be easily and quickly adjusted to suit any size shade roller or curtain pole.

With this and various other j objects in view, the invention consists in the novel features oi' construction, combination and arrangement of parts, hereinafter fully described and pointed out in the claim.

In the drawing forming a part of this speciicationz--Figure l isa perspective view of my improved shade andcurtain holder ap-V plied to a window-frame. Fig. 2 is a `horizontal sectional view. oll Figfl..Vv Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a portion of the supporting rod. Fig. 4 is a section through one of the strips showing Vthe manner of forming the sleeve.

ln the drawing A and B indicate a pair of metal strips having split ends, which are bent back upon one another to form sleeves A', B so the strips can be adjusted, longitudinally so as to readily fit any size shade or curtain pole. lt will also be seen that-the sleeve prevents the strips from becoming pulled apart. The strips are provided with o enings through which screws are adapte to pass, and ysecured therein 'to the windowframe C, in the desired position.. rlhe strips A and B are provided With angled ends A2, B2 the angled end B2 ofthe strip B being provided with a series of round openings B3, to receive the pintle of a curtain roller and the end A2 ofthe strip A is provided witha series of oblong openings A3 to receive the studpins of the springend of the roller.

lt will be readily'seen that thecurtain can be mounted in any ofthe openings so as to bring it close to the frame or away from the same as desired.

Mounted on the angled end of the strips A and B, are pole-supporting brackets D,

l i which are formed of a plate having a slotted end D, the side of the plates are bent to form guide-ways D2' in which the angled ends of the strips A and B are adapted to fit, so that the bracket can be adjusted asdesired. The other ends of the brackets are provided with upwardly extending portions having sockets D3 formed therein, adapted to receive the curtain ole.

It willD be understood that when the polesup orting brackets AD are fitted upon the ang ed ends of the strips lA and B the longi-` tudinal slot D in each bracket will register with the openings B3 or A3 as the case may be, so that the bracket D can be adjusted without interfering or preventing adjustment of the shade roller. lt will also be obvious that if the slot D was omitted the pintle or pin of the shade roller would act as a stop for the bracket D and when the shade roller was arranged adjacent the outer ends of the angled portions of the strips it would prevent the brackets from being placed securely upon said end portions, or would make it necessary to extend the angled ends outwardly to an inconvenient and unnecessary length.

From the foregoing description, it will be readily seen that l have provided a very novel shade and curtain bracket, so constructed that it will prevent the frame ofthe window from being disligured by constantly removing the brackets so as to lit different size shades.

. Having thus fully described my invention, whatl claim as new and desire "to secure by Letters Patent is An adjustable shade and'curtain bracket comprising a pair of strips arranged side by side provided with sleeves surrounding .the adjacent strips, whereby said strips can be moved with respect to eachother, said strips being provided with outwardly angled ends having suitable openings' formed therein, adapted to receive the supporting pins of a shade roller and su porting brackets slidably mounted over sai ends provided with slots Afin registerwith said openings:
